Abstract

Summary: Diethyl phosphorocyanidate [DEPC, (Et0)Z- P(O)CN], in combination with triethylamine, has been proved a new efficient reagent for the direct C-acylation of active methylene compounds with carboxylic acids. ... Sir: Recent publications from our laboratory have revealed that diethyl phosphorocyanidate [DEPC, (Et0)2P(O)CN], in combination with triethylamine, may be used for (i) N- acylationl(peptide1 bond formati ~ n ) , ~ - ~ (ii) S-acylation (thiol ester ...
